Question 10

How to survive the flight to Baku?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Baku could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Baku?

Accepted Answer

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Baku easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
